Really excited about him and Owens.

I don't like his perfect FT shooting in that game. He needs to cool off from the line before he hits MKE.

Shaka was not kidding when he called Parham "a scoring savant".  Looks like he can make foul shots as well.

Owens looks like an OMax clone on the court.

I am torn between giddiness and my standard warning of the need to be patient with freshmen.

Very true about the FTs Goose. Don't show up the veterans, kid.

He even has a major road in Richmond named after him. Maybe an opportunity for some NIL.

OK, enough screwing around. I can hardly wait to see him play for Marquette.

No worry. Ben will handle that.

They will definitely give some minutes next year, but watching the extended highlights that were shared yesterday, Shaka was understating it when he said they were further along offensively.  Both looked pretty bad defensively.  Could've been that they were playing a lower level team and weren't fully locked in, but they'll need to get after it defensively to get major minutes next year.  Hope they get to campus early and take some notes from Stevie early and often.

Owens has a better passing handle. He's a strong ballhandler and passer. He is gonna be a three level threat.

And I believe I stated it before, but looks like Parham is supposed to be a Oso/Gold evolution in a blender (couldn't resist the blender joke).

I share those feelings, Goose.

And the beat goes on. Shaka continue he's to build a solid competitive team.

I imagine these guys get drafted after their sophomore years

Yes.....and not through the portal.

Parham, in particular, did a lot of standing around on defense. Being surrounded by higher-level coaching and motivated defensive players at Marquette should help him a great deal - as it did with Kam and, even more, Joplin.

[MuMark]

I've become almost desensitized to watching high school prospects play defense.......most of them just don't play nearly as hard as they will be required to play in college.......especially bigger guys.

Shaka has a great track record of coaching them up......but it won't happen overnight.

Interesting, most projections I've seen have Owens as the real gem of this group, but tough to deny the numbers Parham's been putting up lately.

[tower912]

Their development on defense will determine their playing time

[FairWeatherEagle]

OK, I have no bead on the recruiting stuff....I'll just cheer for whoever walks out on the court first game.

But I clicked on that link and looked him up.   6'8"  205  hits the three and free-throws indicates a real eye, not just a gunner.
No idea about character or defense....but Shaka helps all of 'em with both. (I will say he's got a pleasent look on that link).

I didnt feel too well about OMax going....but we recovered.  So here's to this year and to next!

[MuMark]

Character is a core value for Shaka......if he isn't convinced that you already have it ...he won't recruit you.

I don't think we've signed a guy with character issues since Buzz left.

At least not that I recall.
